Atlanta United vs. New York Red Bulls: Community Player Ratings

Atlanta United dropped a tough result to the New York Red Bulls in their inaugural MLS match. Thankfully there's 33 more matches left for the team to improve and get on the same page. There's no shame in losing to possibly the best team the East has had to offer over the last three seasons, but it would've been nice to cap an amazing night with that first win. While the result wasn't what we all had hoped for, but there were some very encouraging individual performances.
